Rave Generation: Trigger Rhythm
Rhythmic trigger gate
Recreation of a legendary 1980s analog drum synthesizer. The sound behind Phil Collins' "In the Air Tonight" and countless 80s pop and rock productions. Dual CMOS triangle oscillators, envelope-based pitch sweeping, plus modern waveforms, LFO modulation, MIDI tracking, and drive saturation.
Features
- Complete dual CMOS 4069 triangle wave oscillator modeling
- Authentic filter pole spreading with unequal integrator capacitors (1nF, 2nF, 1nF)
- CMOS propagation delay artifacts and temperature drift simulation
- Mode E pseudo-sawtooth via +8V injection technique
- Classic envelope-based pitch sweeping
- 7 vintage modes: Triangle, FM, Dual Mix, Velocity Mix, Pseudo-Saw, Noise, FM+Noise
- 5 additional modern waveforms: Asteroid, Coconut, Bones, Boxeur, Bottle Cap
- Each mode with unique harmonic content and character profiles
- Authentic CMOS asymmetries and analog imperfections
- Four waveform shapes: Square, Triangle, Sine, Sawtooth
- Tempo sync with 13 note divisions (1/1 to 1/16T + dotted variants)
- 0.1-50Hz frequency range for creative modulation
- Sample & Hold for vintage random pitch modulation
- Bipolar depth control (-100% to +100%) for inverted modulation
- Transport-synced phase reset for reproducible behavior
- Five trigger modes: Audio, MIDI, MIDI Key, Audio+MIDI, Audio+MIDI Key
- MIDI key tracking with full chromatic support (C1-B3)
- Note sync override for precise musical tuning
- Adjustable trigger threshold and sensitivity
- Advanced drive algorithm with four saturation stages
- Professional envelope handling with click-free retriggering
- Comprehensive automation support with parameter smoothing
- LED trigger indicator for visual feedback
- 64-bit floating-point internal processing
